Until 1967, all ringing had taken place from the ground floor, which also served as the choir vestry. This caused problems for both choir and ringers alike. During another interior restoration at this time, a new ringing floor was installed, thus making a separate ringing chamber, above the choir vestry. The tower arch was fitted with 3/8" plate glass.
